-Note that it (potentially) includes the parents. Also the strain-id is a string and we may want to plug in the strain name. To allow for easy comparison downstream. Finally we may want to store a checksum of sorts. In the next step we have to check the normal distribution of the trait values and maybe winsorize outliers.

+(sha-256->string (sha-256 #vu8(1 53 204)))
